    Default How Doth the Earth Suffer Under Yous?

    Quiz. Ready? Go!

    THE AVERAGE ECOLOGICAL FOOTPRINT IN YOUR COUNTRY IS 24 ACRES PER PERSON.

    WORLDWIDE, THERE EXIST 4.5 BIOLOGICALLY PRODUCTIVE ACRES PER PERSON.

    FOOD 3.2
    MOBILITY 0
    SHELTER 1.5
    GOODS/SERVICES 1.2
    TOTAL FOOTPRINT 6

    IF EVERYONE LIVED LIKE YOU, WE WOULD NEED 1.3 PLANETS.
    No debate. Just pointless quizzery and perhaps commentary.

    Oh. I just saw it yesterday and it was about two people who did that test and came out with 12 planets or something so they went to go live in an experimental ecovillage called Dancing Rabbit and it was kind of funny. They had to recycle their own poop.

    "IF EVERYONE LIVED LIKE YOU, WE WOULD NEED 1.9 PLANETS."
    I doubt the answer's accurate anyway as some of the questions you really don't know the answer to...

    In comparison, the average ecological footprint in my country is 8.7 global hectares per person.

    It would take 2.2 planets if everyone wanted to live like I do. How fiendish of me.

    Let's see. If we need 2.4 planets to support everyone living like me, that means we'd need 59% less people. So, all we need do is kill off 3.8 billion people and problem solved. Ah maths, it may not give you the most desirable answers, but it gives you an answer none-the-less.

    I use 4.2 planets apparently.

    Therefore, about 1.5 billion people can live like I do, the rest of you will have to find another planet. Sorry about that.

    I have a global footprint of 6 (Mostly in food), and did I mention how I LOVE tests that make you feel guilty at the end?

    Many thanks Christmas!

    I refuse to feel guilty for living well. Don't worry, there are enough poor people to more than make up the difference.
